Automated Switcher Studio Prestream Checklists
Every morning, WebRun opens Switcher Studio, checks today's scheduled livestreams for connected destinations and a ready scene layout, posts a pre-stream checklist to Notion, and logs a go or no-go status to Google Sheets, leaving the actual Go Live button to a human.
How do I make sure a Switcher Studio livestream is ready before I go live?
WebRun checks Switcher Studio every morning for streams scheduled that day, confirming each has its destinations connected and its scene layout ready. It posts a pre-stream checklist to Notion and logs a go or no-go status to Google Sheets, so nothing is discovered missing after the countdown starts. Starting the actual broadcast always stays a human step.
- Missing destinations or scenes get caught before the countdown starts
- Every scheduled stream has a documented go or no-go status
- The team works from one checklist instead of checking Switcher Studio manually

Questions, answered
Does WebRun start the livestream for me?
No. Going live is irreversible the moment it starts, so WebRun only checks readiness and reports go or no-go. Pressing Go Live in Switcher Studio always stays a human step.
What does a no-go status mean?
A scheduled stream is missing a connected destination or its scene layout isn't ready. It's flagged in Notion so it can be fixed before air time.
Does it check every scheduled stream or just the next one?
Every stream scheduled for today gets its own checklist and status, not just the next one coming up.
